The Royal Regiment of Artillery is one of the oldest and most distinguished regiments in the British Army. It was formed in 1715 by Royal Warrant of George I, and has since served in every major conflict in which the British Army has been involved.

The regiment's early history is closely associated with the development of artillery as a military science. In the 18th century, the regiment played a major role in the development of new artillery techniques and equipment. It also saw action in a number of major battles, including the Battle of Dettingen (1743),the Battle of Fontenoy (1745),and the Battle of Waterloo (1815).

In the 19th century, the regiment continued to serve in a variety of conflicts, including the Crimean War (1854-1856),the Indian Mutiny (1857-1858),and the Boer War (1899-1902). It also played a major role in the development of new artillery technologies, such as the breech-loading gun and the howitzer.

The Royal Regiment of Artillery is a proud and distinguished regiment with a long and illustrious history. This book provides a comprehensive account of the regiment's formation and history up to 1848, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of the British Army or artillery.
